'That does not imply you are not worth a great deal more, said Kearney, with an air of gallantry. 'I know if I was a young fellow which I'd strive most for. Eh, Mr. Daniel? I see you agree with me. Donogan's face, slightly flushed before, became now crimson as he sipped his tea in confusion, unable to utter a word. 'And so, resumed Kearney, 'he'll only give us a day to make up our minds!
On reaching this, Nina, who seemed to have accepted Donogan's companionship without further question, directed him to unpack the carriage and take out her easel and her drawing materials. 'You'll have to carry these fortunately not very far, though, said she, smiling, 'and then you'll have to come back here and fetch this basket.
Flood, the Tory J.P., who, hearing of Donogan's escape, had driven over to confer with his brother magistrate. Lord Kilgobbin was not sorry to quit the field, where he'd certainly earned few laurels, and hastened down to meet his colleague.
Maher had been permitted to have letters occasionally addressed to him to Casey's care; and Maher, being an old college friend of Donogan's, afforded him this mode of receiving letters in times of unusual urgency or danger. Maher shared very slightly in Donogan's opinions.
'There can be little doubt Donogan would never have made the sacrifice had he known that I am about to marry Walpole. From this she rambled on to speculate on how far might Donogan's conduct compromise or endanger him with his own party, and if which she thought well probable there was a distinct peril in what he was doing, whether he would have incurred that peril if he really knew the truth, and that it was not herself he was serving.

'There is, however, a higher price on that man Donogan's head than Austria ever offered for a traitor, said Miller.
When Nina, on looking over Donogan's note-book, came upon this address, she saw also some almost illegible words, which implied that it was only to be employed as the last resort, or had been so used a phrase she could not exactly determine what it meant.
I think I can see Dan Donogan's fine hand in that part of your note which foreshadows a threat, and hints that the Walpole story would, if published abroad, do enormous damage to the Ministry. This, let me assure you, is a fatal error, and a blunder which could only be committed by an outsider in political life.
And the other continued: 'When Captain Curtis was talking to your father, and discussing the chances of capturing Donogan, he twice or thrice mentioned Harper and Fry names which somehow seemed familiar to me; and on thinking the matter over when I went to my room, I opened Donogan's pocket-book and there found how these names had become known to me.
I could sit here half the night and listen to Atlee telling how you lived, and the sort of things that interested you. 'So that you'd actually like to look at us? Donogan's eyes grew glassy, and his lips trembled, but he could not utter a word. 'So you shall, then, cried Dick resolutely. 'We'll start to-morrow by the early train.
